  • Press Kit Secession
    SECESSION The Vienna Secession is an exhibition space that occupies a unique position in the history of modern art, combining a contemporary, forward-looking program with a building whose architecture is an icon of the spirit of adventure around 1900. This architecture has aged well and as a result, its functionality and aesthetic elegance continue to offer excellent conditions for today’s artistic and exhibition practice. The Secession is designed to be used in many different ways, a challenge taken up by artists who engage with both the inside and the outside of the building, producing an ongoing series of specially developed artistic ideas and concepts. Artists have often engaged with both the façade and the dome composed of 3000 gold-plated iron laurel leaves. The magnificent Hauptraum (main gallery) with its glass roof, one of the very first “white cubes,” is particularly well suited for interventions on account of its flexibility. With the Grafisches Kabinett (print room) on the upper floor and the three- room gallery in the basement, this ensures a wide range of options for exhibitions. In keeping with the motto that adorns its facade—“For every time, its art. For art, its freedom.”—the Secession hosts an international program that explores current forms of artistic expression in solo and themed exhibitions. It is a sounding board for the aesthetic and critical discourses on art, culture, and society that define our era, and for the political significance accruing to them. The Secession is an important forum for young experimental art, but its concept also includes prominent, already established positions.

  • Art. Light. Freedom – Vienna Secession Is Brought to Life with Tunablewhite
    Press information Art. Light. Freedom – Vienna Secession is brought to life with tunableWhite “To the age its art, to art its freedom” grandly adorns the main entrance. In striking capital letters. As it has done for more than one hundred years. And now the creative freedom associated with this place has become even greater. Throughout the building. Thanks to artificial light that replicates the quality of daylight. Or to be more precise, thanks to tunableWhite LED lighting solutions developed and realised by Zumtobel together with the architect Adolf Krischanitz. Dornbirn, 13. March 2019 – It stands resplendent on the Karlsplatz square. Flanked by traffic on all sides, it still somehow manages to radiate a feeling of incredible serenity. White walls, golden ornaments – perhaps brighter now than ever before. Then there are the pale green inner sides of the bay leaves that perfectly come together to form a sphere on the roof. The Latin words “Ver Sacrum” (holy spring), the name of the official journal of the Union of Austrian Artists (Die Vereinigung bildender Künstler Österreichs) in the early years of the Secession, can be seen to the left of the front steps. Designed by architect Joseph Maria Olbrich and opened in 1898 as a showroom for the Union of Austrian Artists, the Vienna Secession (or Wiener Secession) is more than just a building. It is an architectural manifesto for Art Nouveau – or, as they call it in the German-speaking world, for the Jugendstil. For a return to the origins. For getting back to nature. And now, after a year of general refurbishment under the direction of the renowned Viennese architect Adolf Krischanitz, the Wiener Secession is shining with fantastic new splendour.

  • JOSEF FRANK: Against Design
    Press Release JOSEF FRANK: Against Design Press Conference Tuesday, 15 December 2015, 10:30 a.m. Opening Tuesday, 15 December 2015, 7 p.m. Exhibition Venue MAK Exhibition Hall MAK, Stubenring 5, 1010 Vienna Exhibition Dates 16 December 2015 – 3 April 2016 Opening Hours Tue 10 a.m.–10 p.m., Wed–Sun 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Free admission on Tuesdays from 6–10 p.m. “One can use everything that can be used,” proclaimed Josef Frank, one of the most important Austrian architects and designers of modernity, who, with this undogmatic, anti-formalist design approach, was far ahead of his time. More and more, Frank’s architectural sensibility, which placed serviceability and comfort above form and rules of form, counts as trend-setting. The exhibition JOSEF FRANK: Against Design gives a comprehensive overview of the multi-layered oeuvre of this extraordinary architect and designer, while being much more than a survey of his work. This MAK solo exhibition delves into Frank’s complex intellectual and creative strategies, which today are once again highly topical. The exhibition title Against Design encapsulates this undogmatic stance. Frank, who as an architect grappled with all of the themes having to do with architecture and living environments, was also highly productive as a “designer” and developed a plethora of furniture and textiles. Within the international avant-garde, however, he adopted a very critical position. He expressly declared himself opposed to the idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk, standardized furnishings, and innovative forms for their own sake. He could not really warm up to either the individual-artistic paradigms of the Wiener Werkstätte or to functional, mechanized production deriving from the Bauhaus.
